Institution:

Claremont McKenna College

Subject:

Description:

Milton, Staff A two-part course offered by faculty of the Joint Science department and Western University of Health Sciences; the two courses may not be taken concurrently. Developmental and evolutionary principles of limb design and function; mechanical properties of bone, soft tissues, muscle, nerve; inter-relationships between structure, biomechanics, and function; open chain versus closed chain kinematics; mobility of limb girdles; mechanisms of injury and prevention. Laboratory involves dissection of human cadavers. Prerequisites: Biology 39 (or Dance 160po or Dance 163sc), Biology 43 or 44 (or equivalent), Physics 30 or 33 (or equivalent), and permission of instructor. The AISS sequence may be used for the introductory biology and physics courses. Enrollment limited to 15. Laboratory fee: $ 100. Offered every other year. Evolution and development of pronograde versus orthograde stance; development of pelvic diaphragm; mechanical properties of disks and vertebrae (creep); passive versus active stabilization and limb movement; back pain. Prerequisites: Biology 39 (or Dance 160po or Dance 163sc), Biology 43 or 44 (or equivalent), Physics 30L or 33L (or equivalent), and permission of instructor. The AISS sequence may be used for the introductory biology and physics courses. Enrollment limited to 15. Laboratory fee: $ 100. Offered every other year.
